A 17-year-old from New Brunswick with terminal brain cancer is asking others to help complete her bucket list.
Rebecca Schofield launched a campaign in December encouraging people to perform random acts of kindness in her honour, with the hashtag #BeccaToldMeTo.
鈥淪ince so many people want to help with my bucket list, Dad and I have masterminded a plan that will allow anyone to help with my bucket list,鈥� she wrote on . 鈥淣o matter who you are, if you see this message, please do an act of kindness for someone else.鈥�
鈥淚 want them to take the focus away from all the bad things that happen in this world and I want them to realize that this life is a gift and you have to cherish every moment that you get,鈥� Schofield told 麻豆影视.
People around the world have been fulfilling Schofield鈥檚 wish one kind act at a time. Some have donated blood or shovelled a neighbour鈥檚 driveway. Others have done more extravagant acts of kindness. For example, donated $400 to a family facing a difficult time after a house fire.
Art and songs have been dedicated to the inspirational teen and she has even received an award from her local for her selflessness.
Rebecca Schofield鈥檚 mother, Anne Schofield, couldn鈥檛 be more proud of her daughter.
鈥淚鈥檝e always thought I had a pretty cool kid,鈥� she said. 鈥淣ow I get to share her with everybody. I think it鈥檚 heartwarming to see that the people鈥檚 kindness is coming out.鈥�
The online campaign has reached over two million people and continues to grow.
鈥淭hat鈥檚 insane,鈥� said Schofield. 鈥淎ll I鈥檓 doing is just encouraging people open their hearts and be better humans.鈥�
Schofield says she's hoping her message will continue to spread happiness. "The more kindness in the world the better.鈥�
